Johnny Cash’s Comic Book Set for Special 50th Anniversary Edition

Z2 Comics is releasing a 50th-anniversary edition of the 1976 autobiographical comic book Hello, I’m Johnny Cash. Originally created in collaboration with religious leader Billy Zeoli and illustrator Al Hartley, the publication was designed to appeal to younger audiences by highlighting the country star's spiritual redemption and marriage to June Carter. The upcoming reissue arrives on Local Comic Store Day and features alternative cover art by Tim Bradstreet and Chip Kidd. Additionally, the special release includes an insightful essay by Alex Segura alongside an interview with the musician's son, John Carter Cash. Company executives praise the project as a pioneering work that predated modern music and graphic novel crossovers.
